Hello Afterdawn members, I was wondering if I could get a bit of assistance on this issue. I've searched and seen several similar threads, but none that address my issue specifically. Here goes.
My psp was initially on the 5.02 OFW from sony, and I managed to downgrade it using guides I found to make the pandora battery, and the MMS. The pandora battery was a hard-mod, removing the number 5 pin from one of the chips on the battery mobo. The mms was done using the appropriate files and windows cmd prompt. Needless to say it worked fine. I was able to downgrade from 5.02 OFW to 3.71 M33-2. Like an idiot I decided to upgrade to the latest CFW 5.00 M33-4 I believe it was. After running that CFW for a day, I realized that some of my eboot.pbp files would not load correctly anymore so I decided to downgrade back to my original 3.71 M33-2. I got out my MMS, and my Pandora Battery, and when I inserted my Pandora battery, nothing happened. No options for installing the 3.71 CFW as I had before. So I thought I would just leave it as it was, and put my regular battery back into the device, and just play the games that I could still, but that didn't work either. Now with a regular battery in the PSP, It will turn on, I get the green power button, but the screen does nothing, and then shuts itself off after about 10 seconds. When I insert the pandora battery anymore, the screen will come on as if it's starting up, but then nothing will happen again, and it will stay on untill I hard reset or remove the battery. I cannot access the recovery menu using the R trigger when I have either battery installed. I've googled unbrickers, and how to's for them, but everyone seems to assume that you can access the xmb, or at least, the recovery. Is there a way around this, can my psp be unbricked, or is it even bricked? Thanks in advance for your time, and if there is anything that I have left out, please let me know. Thanks again.

Symptoms of bricked PSP..... Worst part about it is may be unbrickable. I've heard talks about how if you upgrade to 5.00 or higher (regardless if it's official or custom) you may never be able to downgrade, unbrick or install custom firmware on it again. Supposedly some protection code was embedded onto the 5.00 firmware or something of that nature. I'm not totally sure though, it was just rumor and I may be wrong. But then again, it may be true as I hear a lot of complaints about this new 5.00 firmware and talks of how it is unhackable. If this is the case, you're doomed.

You can try to make a new pandora battery and magic memory stick to see it that works. Just remember to backup the eeprom in order to convert your battery back to a normal one.

Thank you for your responses. I do hope that the 5.00 M33-4 wasn't that way. I had successfully downgraded from OFW 5.02 to 3.71 M33, then upgraded to 5.00 M33-4 and didn't like it (couldn't use the playstation store option) and so I put my MMS and Pandora Battery (hard-modded) back into it and that's when it happened. Any other suggestions? I've spoken to the guy on ebay who says he can unbrick any psp, but if it's as simple as using the MMS and Pandora battery, is there a chance that during my latest attempt at an install, or while cleaning up old saves on my MMS that I could have corrupted the MMS?
